Preview IAA Frankfurt: The most powerful Seat yet

The new top-of-the-range model from Seat is the Cupra R. This most powerful vehicle in the history of the marque will be unveiled at the IAA Frankfurt Motor Show. One of the features that will set this sporty number apart from its less powerful cousins is the 'R' logo on the grille and tailgate. The Cupra R boasts upholstered bucket seats and a multifunctional leather steering wheel. The aluminium pedals add to its high-performance image. The Seat is powered by a 265bhp, 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine. With front-wheel drive, it sprints from 0 to 62 in 6.1 seconds and has a top speed of 155mph. Average fuel consumption is just under 35mpg. Prices for this most powerful Seat to date start at 29,999 euros.
